On Tuesday evening’s results show on Dancing With the Stars on ABC, we watched as Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Karina Smirnoff were eliminated. While it came as no surprise to the viewers that the couple were sent home after their awful performance on Monday, Karina Smirnoff is disappointed and talks about the elimination and what’s next for her and Mike. Keep reading for all the details!

While it seemed like Karina Smirnoff struggled all season teaching Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, the pair’s elimination on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars came as a disappointment to Karina who recently told PEOPLE magazine “It’s a little sad. We definitely thought we had a little bit more in us â€“ maybe a couple more weeks.” Karina went on to share how much fun she and Mike had “He would make me laugh every minute of the rehearsal. So, I got to see the real Mike, and I love that. He’s definitely one of my closest friends. He’s an amazing guy.”

Most likely Karina Smirnoff and Mike Sorrentino will remain close friends as the pair live a mere 5 minutes from one another in New Jersey. Despite their elimination and her disappointment, Karina also feels it came at the right time as she goes on to tell PEOPLE “He’s extremely busy, and I’m busy, so at this time, we’re going to take this opportunity to concentrate on our own projects. I have a DVD coming out in two weeks, so it’s kind of perfect timing, to be honest.” What do you think, was Karina Smirnoff and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s elimination warranted, or were you upset to see the pair go home?
